Just spent an hour or so with the MP for North West Durham Richard Holden.
John Hodgson from Esh Winning had emailed him about the birds of prey problem in reply Richard had expressed an interest in meeting some fanciers about raptors and to meet someone involved in the work fanciers do for charity
John invited Bob Pinkerton ,Jeff Simpson ,Dennis McKenna and myself to meet up we had a good talk about the problems and he was interested to help.
